Summary

Provided here are the SWAN wave model input of grid 4 with pit 3 configuration and output of significant wave height, dominant wave period, and mean wave direction resulting from simulation of wave scenarios at the Breton Island, LA, as described in USGS Open-File Report 2015–1055 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151055). There are 128 individual scenarios that are based on significant wave height (H) and mean wave direction (D). There are 8 bins for significant wave height (H1-H8) that range from 0 meters to 6 meters in intervals of 0.5 meters (0–2 meters) and 1 meter (2–6 meters). There are 16 bins for mean wave direction (D1-D16) that range from 0 degrees to 360 degrees in intervals of 22.5 degrees. Of the 128 scenarios, 12 had no data and therefore are absent from the list below.
